Ancestral Swiftness will not stay on my bar

I was previously talented into Nature Swiftness as a shaman. Upon getting Ancestral Swiftness, it replaced it, great. I remove the nature swiftness talent, and put ancestral swiftness on my bar. The problem is, every single time i log in and out, enter a dungeon, BG, whatever, ANY LOADING SCREEN, the ancestral swiftness icon is replaced with Nature Swiftness on my bar— and its the button where I don’t even have it talented. It’s getting annoying to open every single time.

I have the same problem. It often put me in weird situation, because I forget to put in back on my bar.

I’m having this issue. The talent, Ancestral Swiftness, will not stay and will replace itself with Nature’s Swiftness if I do not have Nature’s Swiftness chosen in talents.

I also noticed that Ancestral Swiftness does not appear in the spellbook and I had to drag it from talents to add it to my bar in the first place when Nature’s Swiftness is not chosen alongside it.

I wonder if the talent is somehow recognized as a spell when it’s a modifier but not recognized when it stands alone.

If I put it in a cast macro, the macro stays.

So it stays if it modifies Nature’s Swiftness. It stays if it’s presented as a macro. It does not stay if it stands alone as a spell dragged from the talent screen. And it does not appear in the spellbook unless Nature’s Swiftness is also chosen as a talent.

Same issue here as well. It always changes back to Nature’s Swiftness and I have to drag it off of my talent tree every time there’s a loading screen. It’s very annoying. I’ve tried switching talent loadouts, logging out and back in, checking action bar settings ,but nothing is telling me why it happens.

Definitely seems like a bug somewhere unless there’s something we’re missing.

Yeah its a big issue especially for PvP you have to take natures swiftness for it to work. it shouldn’t be this way.

Has this still not been fixed? Newly dinged shaman here.
It’s not even showing up in the spellbook, so whenever I zone into a dungeon I have to view my talents and drag it from there.

EDIT:
Tried to make a macro and use that instead of the spell that keeps constantly disappearing from bars:
/cast Ancestral Swiftness
But even the macro doesn’t work. It does nothing.
